I WAS ALWAYS A PRETTY HAPPY AND CONTENT PERSON THAT COULD SEE THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF LIFE.
BUT AFTER I BECAME A CHRISTIAN MY HAPPINESS AND CONTENTMENT CAME FROM THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT. BEING JOYFUL, I HAVE DISCOVERED, DOES NOT REMOVE YOU FROM PAIN, HEARTBREAK, DISAPPOINTMENT, OR TROUBLE, BUT IT DOES GIVE YOU THE AMAZING AND POWERFUL STRENGTH TO GET THROUGH THEM.
HERE'S THE SECRET:
“…THE SECRET of the LORD is with them that fear him…” (PROVERBS 25:14). “… but HIS SECRET is with the righteous…” (PROVERBS 3:32). “And I will give thee … HIDDEN RICHES of SECRET PLACES…” (ISAIAH 45:3). God has “… [MADE] KNOWN… [TO YOU]...the RICHES of the glory … which is Christ IN YOU…” (Colossians 1:27 KJV). “…Jesus Christ IS IN YOU…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). “…Christ in you, …” (Colossians 1:27 KJV). “…THE SECRET of the LORD is with [YOU]…” (PROVERBS 25:14). “…I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want…” Philippians 4:11-12 NIV). “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” (Philippians 4:13 KJV).
DURING THOSE DIFFICULT TIMES. THE STRENGTH COMES FROM THE "HOPE" YOU FIND IN THE WORD OF GOD (JESUS). GOD'S WORD LETS YOU KNOW EVERYTHING IS GOING TO WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD. IT TELLS YOU IF YOU ASK ANYTHING IN HIS (JESUS) NAME HE WILL DO IT. THE WORD ALSO SAYS IF YOU DEPEND UPON HIM AND DON'T DOUBT, WHAT YOU ARE EXPECTING FROM GOD, WILL COME TO PASS.
THE BIBLE ALSO TELLS ME THAT JESUS TOLD US THESE THINGS, IN HIS WORD, SO "HIS" JOY MIGHT BE IN US AND "OUR" JOY MIGHT BE FULL. I GET SAD, DISAPPOINTED, AND I CRY, BUT THEN I REMEMBER HIS PROMISES AND THEY STRENGTHEN ME.
I AM NOT HAPPY-GO-LUCKY AND I DON'T LIVE IN LA-LA LAND, BUT THE JOY OF THE LORD IS THE SECRET OF MY STRENGTH!! I WON'T APOLOGIZE FOR THE JOY HE SUFFERED AND DIED TO "GIFT" ME AND ALL HIS CHILDREN WITH. “….God has blessed, and I cannot reverse it!” (Numbers 23:20 NLT). “…by the GRACE of God I am what I am…” (1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV).
I CHOOSE TO DEPEND UPON HIS INDWELLING JOY. I AM WHAT I AM. I AM JOYFUL!
YOU CHOOSE WHOM YOU WILL SERVE....
LIFE CAN BE UTTERLY DISAPPOINTING. I HAVE EXPERIENCED SOME DEEP, DEEP PAIN AND HEARTACHE. I AM ALMOST SURE I HAVE CRIED A RIVER, BUT IN THE LONG RUN THE GOODNESS OF GOD OUTWEIGHS IT ALL!! WHATEVER I NEED... AND WHENEVER I NEED IT...GOD'S GOT IT!!!
EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT!!!
